@rasmusfleischer Jag lyssnar mycket på NTS också. Jag trodde också de var oberoende, men blev tyvärr uppmärksammad av @lillenicxx att Universal har köpt dem.

@evan Oh, I assume that gets translated differently in other softwares then. What does AS2 do normally?

@evan Off-topic, but I recall you saying that you had at some point wished for another way to filter content than CW. Did I remember correct and did you write more about it? I'm curious what the alternatives are or could be.

I decided to become a monthly backer of @fedify. I'm not a programmer, but I understand they're doing some of the important behind-the-scenes work in the fediverse that helps all the other more visible projects like #Ghost federate with other platforms. https://opencollective.com/fedify

@dansup Could you collaborate with other people who run pixelfed servers so that the first default server new users see are other domains than pixelfed.social ? Create a pipeline for decentralisation. I know your biggest ambition is for the protocol to shine and this will help it do so in times of massive influx. Hopefully won't be the last either.

Is there an easy way to search your own posts on Mastodon? #feditips

@atomicpoet That's not my reading of the charts. Pixelfed has 308.000 users in December and 316.000 in January. Where do you see 50.000 joining today?

@atomicpoet Oh, I see what you mean. 50.000 joined the Fediverse today - right?

@evan No, but. No, because in several ways, the United States represents a cooptation of the democratic spirit. Until around the mid 19th Cent. 'democracy' was a slur against popular revolts not unlike how 'terrorism' is used today against all sorts of things like climate action, labor strikes etc. The US establishment claimed 'democracy' when they managed to change it to mean voting for a representative. David Graeber told the story in his 2013 book The Democracy Project.

I wonder if humans have ever had a dormancy period of some kind and whether the well-known winter depression is just a trace of a more functional relationship to the seasons.

@evan I'm 21 or more. Idealistically, I don't see a limit. The more dysfunctional the country is, the less mature and democratic the society is, the more likely the leadership will have the wrong motives to be there, the fewer years the leadership should be in place to prevent tyrannical consolidation of power. The more mature and democratic the society is, the less crucial the leader becomes and the higher maximum number of years it can stay there.

@argumento Another possible explanation could be that we have very low standards for American presidents. @evan

@rasmusfleischer Är det inte Institut för Språk och Folkminnen som ger ut nyordslista?

@evan I'm a qualified yes. As long as the fediverse is relatively marginal, I would hesitate to pend energy having several context-specific accounts. But my ideal would be to have as many accounts as there are significant contexts in my life.

@ayoub That's fucked up the regime imprisoned children. Who were the people that released the prisoners? 'Rebel' is a bit of an ambiguous term in Syria. EDIT: I've been slow to keep updated. I see Assad left the country so I assume these could be anyone breaking into the prison by now.

@evan Even better if it's fun too! @cwebber

@evan I live in Europe and train is probably the case for those kinds of trips 9/10. I borrow a car if we're going to the woods a bunch of people together.

I would like to read the history of how the fediverse was built by mostly a bunch of queer and neurodivergent nerds that wanted to escape the technofeudal logic that's emerging in the world. Is this just my fantasy? Perhaps it's already been written. If not, who knows the story well enough to write it? #fediverse #queer #neurodivergent #technofeudalism

Ping @cwebber @evan

@cwebber I'm not so well-versed in data science, so this is perhaps above my skill level. I understand that the protocol bluesky runs on copies everything that is written through it and then makes that available for others to copy too. Is that more or less what it means?
